Is a Fitstop franchisee automatically entitled to develop additional franchises?

According to Fitstop's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the agreement awards the right to open a single Franchised Business within a Designated Territory. Specifically, Section 21.4 of the agreement states that the franchise is for a single location.

This means that a Fitstop franchisee is not automatically entitled to develop additional franchises. The franchisee's rights are limited to the single Franchised Business within the Designated Territory as outlined in Schedule 2 of the Franchise Agreement.

If a franchisee wishes to open additional Fitstop locations, they would likely need to enter into a new franchise agreement for each additional location. This is a common practice in franchising, as franchisors often want to ensure that each location is properly managed and meets their standards. A prospective franchisee should discuss the possibility of opening multiple locations with Fitstop during their due diligence process.
